Hela - gamescom 2024 Trailer
Hela’s a co-op puzzleyadventure gamefrom the folks at Windup, whose founders include former members of Coldwood Interactive. It sees you and/or your pal inhabit the pads of a brave little mouse. Apparently you’re a mouse because you’re a witch’s familiar and she needs your help, hence why you go out and explore the Scandinavian landscape and complete puzzles and the like.
From the trailer, all we really see is a lot ofJust Cause-style flying over nice gardens, as well as the fact you’ve got a backpack that’s a frog. And the frog can produce a long, elastic tongue that you can use to pull open slats or swing your or your pal to new heights. Otherwise, it seems your backpack can be used to store mushrooms and other treats, which can be brewed up into potions or upgrades.
That’s really all we know, to be honest. But the devs tout the game as a “delightful mix of adventure and relaxation” where you’ll perform “acts of kindness and feel their healing impact”. Awww, how sweet. I can only imagine how other members of the animal kingdom would react, as I, an acts-of-kindness-giver, career towards them on a pink slide coated in frog saliva, to deliver a potion composed of mildew and a bit of dirt I found under a plant pot.
There’s no release date for this one yet, but you can keep an eye on it over onSteam.
